List of Ingredients
STICKY BUNS
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages instant blend dry yeast
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup butter, margarine or shortening
1 egg
TOPPING:
Melted butter or margarine (use about 1-2 teaspoons in each cup)
Light brown sugar (use 1 tablespoon in each cup), mixed with dash of cinnamon
Recipe
In large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix well.
In saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until warm, between 120 and 130 degrees F. Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Add egg. Blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
Turn out onto well-floured board or pasty cloth and knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes.
Place in well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with clean cloth toweling or waxed paper. Let rise in warm oven (turn oven to lowest setting for one minute, then turn off) for 15-20 minutes, or place in warm area of kitchen and let rise until doubled in size. (Less time needed in summer.)
Prepare muffin tins by generously greasing each cup with butter or margarine, using about a half a teaspoon brown sugar to each cup. Set aside.
Make rolls one of two ways. First method makes separate break-apart sticky buns; second method is similar to those made at Miller's, cut from long roll.
Method I: Pinch off 1-inch rounds of dough (smaller if small muffin cups are used). Place three rounds in each muffin cup. Brush lightly with additional melted butter or margarine.
Cover lightly with waxed paper and set aside to allow to rise in warm area for another 15-20 minutes.
Method II: Amply flour clean toweling or pastry cloth. Roll dough out into rectangle shape until about 1-inch thick. Generously brush dough with melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle about 1/2-inch brown sugar over top of margarine or butter.
Roll dough loosely as for jelly roll, pinching long seam to secure filling. Cut into 1-inch slices and place in prepared cups.
Bake rolls into oven preheated to 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown, Let cool a minute, then remove rolls with fork. Spoon any remaining topping over top of rolls.
CLOVERLEAF ROLLS
Using same dough, pinch off 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces of dough, form into balls, and place three in lightly buttered muffin cups. Bake in oven preheated to 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
